[@Mark-ls3ow]

We love your mother because she supported Vaclav and made you possible. We love Vaclav Havel for bringing Prague back to life the way we love it and we love you for inspiring us to travel to Prague three times in a row. Grateful Mark & Sandra

[@AStupidTourist]

I wandered around Rome at 3AM .. I had the city to myself , Trevi Fountain was deserted ... it was worth it 👌

[@Mrnut69]

Spooky

[@AAA-wq4sm]

Was it safe? Like no crime or anything?

[@CleverMonster101]

I also just went at like 7am and nobody was there. During the pandemic things have been pretty empty

[@vetertee]

Wow your mom is so privileged to have worked closely with mr Havel. One of the great figures of European modern history and an inspiration for mankind.

[@DivandBenny]

Prague looks so much nicer at night too!

[@realhawaii5o]

When I visited Prague just before the pandemic hit we visited the castle at sunset and it was so beautiful to see the city with the sun setting.

[@anndrearg4570]

but with people or without?

[@KieranPBoyle]

I love to see videos like this, you never see places like this without tourists

[@ntatenarin]

I agree! I hate it when I go to a place and a bus arrives, then comes many tourists pushing their way in because they have a limited time to look at everything.

[@eduardochavacano]

Unless you were cursed to be alone. I was practically alone in the Great Wall of China where most travel photos make it look like Tokyo in rush hour. I got to be alone in Phuket and Bali.

[@Bo-tz4nw]

Without tourists??? I guess you´re a tourist here yourself? Nothing wrong with that - welcome!

[@ntatenarin]

@@Bo-tz4nw They mean without a lot of tourists that it's hard to move and enjoy things. Tourists are good, but when it gets too be too much, it can anger locals and other people around.

[@cesareborgia6431]

When I visited the Daliborka prison back in 2016 I read that the violin thing was actually the name of a torture instrument and prisoners "sang" to it, meaning they confessed any crime including those they didn't commit. So the nice story is actually a horrible one. The 1st house at the top of the Golden Lane is worth visiting though: full of armours, weird weapons and yes... tourists

[@annakodydkova9169]

Angličtina Torture was never used in your country? I don't know much about the Czechs and the history of other countries.

[@caldelt]

@@annakodydkova9169 A little defensive. I didn't take the original critically at all. Of course torture has occurred everywhere. Relax.

[@annakodydkova9169]

@@caldelt Yeah? I don't know, but maybe I could find out something. I wonder how different it was.

[@shahminhazchowdhury4813]

Back in June 2019, I used your trick to visit Prague castle after 5 pm. It was indeed beautiful!

[@isladeldramatrent]

In winter right?

[@bazoo513]

5:00 - honest mom working for honest president. Good old days...

[@annainaspen]

Congratulations on 1 million subscribers!!! What a great tip!! The Castle looks so pretty at night.

[@generrandu1643]

Nice to know your Mom was working under Havel administration and you were there in the office. World history is my cup of tea and someday when the pandemic will slow down I will travel most part of Europe including Prague .

[@610shino]

Janek baby!!!! You're so handsome!!!!

[@conceptalfa]

It has to be added that the poor fortuneteller Matylda predicted for a Gestapo officer that the germans are going to loose the war and payed with her life for it!!! Brrrr.... 😵

[@blackdogslivesmatter1568]

I wish you could have told more. I will have to google her. I hope I can learn more about her.

[@jpkrimmel1999]

I'll probably never come overseas but it nice to see u care bout ur country ..

[@stevesmusic1862]

Props to your Mum!!! And that PC you were on as a kid!!! Love it!!!

[@ulrike6681]

You gave this Tipp in a former Video. Therefore we visited the castle in 2019 after 8 o'clock in the evening. Thank you, that was really great!!!!!! We highly recommend that. Greetings from Vienna, Ulli

[@TheFlipside06]

Congrats on the 1 Million!!! You guys are awesome and keep up the honest work!

[@AkAk-lr6vo]

You are brilliant !

[@copsdial999]

Good work brother

[@timbyrne914]

Kafka occasionally stayed in his Sister's appartment there. In a couple of letters he says the quiet atmosphere there was conducive to writing. He would have hated the tourists.

[@10jpmorgan]

I returned to the Netherlands from Prague on Dec. 20th, 2021, and I miss it very much! Lovely city! Thanks so much for your videos.

[@khaledadams4329]

I just discovered your channel. I wanted to say that in all my travels, Prague is the most beautiful city I have seen. Although I was never scammed, I did feel uneasy from all the stories and warnings I heard. I love that you are helping to change this, thanks so much for the videos you create.

[@paulsven7923]

Brilliant video

[@DuncanGray7]

Brilliant video, cheers guys. Had no idea Golden Lane was free after 5pm. Will def visit

[@verliefdoppraag8030]

I knew this tip from another one of your videos and I loved to be there in June, October and December 2021. So beautiful, so quiet and so true, no tourists. Please make more videos like this instead of the scamming ones. That makes Prague seem like a terrible city and I never experience any scams when I visit. Or did I watch all of your videos and that is why.....🙂

[@blackdogslivesmatter1568]

I never experienced and scammers either but when I was with my czech cousin she saw a pickpocketer at the castle and went up to him and yelled at him and hit him until he left. Czechs hate scammers. Another time some teenagers dropped some coins on the ground and I went to help them pick them up and she pulled me away yelling at them for trying to scam me. Apparently when you help them they scam you somehow. That is why the scamming videos on here are so important. Would you rather see the church at night and lose all your money or watch the scamming video here and see the church and not lose your money?

[@msgpatient7850]

No, the scam videos is important for us viewers if we want to visit prague. It'll make a better experience and you won't lose money.

[@marlowbranded7341]

I think the scam videos are very important. One bad scam can leave someone with a bad taste for the country. Not only that, they talk and tell others to stay away.

[@verliefdoppraag8030]

@@blackdogslivesmatter1568 A couple of anti scam-videos would be great, maybe 1 out of ten. The rest about how great the city of Prague is. In my 12 times I have been to Prague I think Prague is pretty safe for people. Don't wear any money or phone in sight and always be a bit cautious when you are approached. By the way...I love the Honest Guide! They are my Prague heroes in the last two tough years.

[@mauriciofernandes7698]

1 million! Congrats!

[@rajvipriya6572]

I’m definitely going to visit in the evening one of these days. Afternoons around 4pm is not too bad either especially in the winter. However, it may be freezing and windy 🥶

[@MBDallocchio]

Ahoj! What is the name of the restaurant near the castle in the end?

[@reggy4495]

Every sunday I am looking forward to your videos! Keep up the good work and I hope to see you in Prague!

[@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers]

Thank you for the tip! You’ve brought back so many lovely memories of our visit to the castle! We cannot wait to return! Congratulations on 1M! Much deserved! ~Cara 😊

[@drafigo13.4]

Im going to Prague this year!

[@eliska4325]

Finally coming back to Prague in October 2022 ! :) after 3 years

[@debbied9997]

Thanks for this insight. I love to go to visit many famous cities during off-hours. First thing in the morning works for me as I'm an early bird and love to get up at the crack-of-dawn and I've had really good luck visiting all the wonderful places around the world by simply getting up early. The best thing with this plan is I can nap mid-day at the hotel and then spend my evening at a show or a bar. ***BTW, what a little cutie you were when you were as a boy. :)

[@MapleLeafsfanforever]

Thanks to Janek's suggestion. We did visit the castle in the evening when we visited Prague a few years back. It was AMAZING!!!

[@facemovies9700]

Now if I see tourists there late in the evening I can be sure theyve watched this video 😂

[@kam99105]

That golden lane story is a pretty good one

[@curtismass5243]

That's cool about your mom. I live in Temple, Texas. Exactly on the other side of the world from Progue. In fact the part of Texas I live in has a history of Czeck culture in it. Not to mention we have a Czeck Museum as well. Progue is the ONLY city I want to visit someday outside of the US.

[@chauthithanhthao3120]

So great. Thanks guys a lot for perfect tips

[@giovanbattistafichera8439]

I'll be back in winter. Was there until yesterday... the weather sucked :D

[@illus1ve]

Who knew, my old dog could say castle in Czech :P

[@christomccarthy1369]

Thanks. What a great time to visit! Question; is it safe at night and how late can you remain on the grounds? Thx coming in Early Nov and can't wait!

[@nomadicolours]

I was there 3 months (From NYC). I do love night time, so I took advantage of the evening time visit. It was magical. I did see it also in the day, but def loved it by night. A great way to avoid people and especially during covid. I actually planned on doing a video on that, so thanks for this :)

[@katjavertelina]

I absolutely love your videos, guys, for super cozy atmosphere, for all these small personal stories and experiences! And I always enjoy Honza's camerawork! (is he giving some courses, I want to apply 🤩)

[@revcity2310]

CONGRATULATIONS on your MILLION viewers,,, I have been watching for years and years, you have helped me immensely on my 2 trips (hopefully 3 soon) to Prague 😎👍😍

[@ossigala5365]

Awesome video! You guys are the reason I came to study here!

[@aChappist]

Nothing is better than Prague at night. Whenever I go to Prague I'm excited to make use of that jet lag and wander around the city at 2am around Hradčany . Prague is (in my experience) the only major city in the world that I feel safe in any time of the day or night... even small cities in other countries (not naming names) I felt uneasy doing night photography in.

[@Jerry-sy8rd]

Great video!!! On my last visit (2020) I followed your advice and the experience, as you have documented again here, was fantastic. Am hoping to visit again SOON! Till then, Ahoj! Ciao! Keep up the great work 👍

[@cylee6672]

Lovely video & tip! Brought back wonderful memories when we visited Prague Castle (with loads of people of course) prior to the pandemic. And thanks to one of your previous videos about the same restaurant, we had a great meal there - delicious food at very reasonable prices considering it’s location.

[@ilyazuskovich800]

Was there just before the christmas. The place is a must visit at night.

It definetely looks way more beautiful and must be cooler. Is it true you don't pay to enter?

The Daliborka prison is also full up to the roof with some hell of a torture implements!!!

[@chikomeiko13]

First time I early! Nice video always

Where would you recommend a first time solo traveler to stay in Prague that's affordable and safe? I'm looking to visit the first week of March. Watching all your videos and preparing for my visit. I'm so excited 😊

Love the czech rep, would visit every year if I could

[@byfxbian]

I just recently saw your Linz Video, and then a question got into my head. Have you already made a video of Vienna? I searched it up, but didn't got any results. I would be very happy if you could visit Vienna, the capital of Austria, and make a video of the city.

[@cielolester4849]

Thanks for giving me an idea what to do on my first night for my upcoming 3-day trip in Prague. ☺

[@JeffBannow]

What's the name of the restaurant at the end of the video? Couldn't find a mention of the actual name.

[@jack-o-lantern1779]

This is very great thanks so much

[@Soundbrigade]

Love your videos but, to be honest, have seen too few of them and especially about Prague. We’ve been there 3 or 4 times and always found new places to see and visit. Passing through the park behind the castle you eventually come to mansion with sculptures - a long but great walk. Also all the area around the castle is just fantastic: the eiffel tower, the funicular and the statues of the nameless people emerging from the dark times ….

[@voxvire2350]

actually did this by accident last time i was there in august we just were too late and everything was free, lol

[@clairehachey2189]

You had done an amazing job with the paper model of the cathedral! I remember it well :)

[@Darwinek]

Hrad is a castle, but so is zámek. In this respect German is much closer, making the distinction between Burg and Schloss.

[@michaelbarnes8912]

What an amazing place and very beautiful.
